    Using Family Ordinance Opportunities: Is there a way to print off the fan chart I am working on? I have been printing a fan chart from the person page of the ancestor I am currently working on. I find I need to mark on my fan chart which line I have already searched. And after searching for green boxes and handling duplicates and data problems on a certain line, where you can click on the little "descendancy" icons to check more descendants, it is so hard to remember which name you have already checked and which you haven't and I waste time accidentally checking the same lines more than once. If the little descendancy icon would change color after you have checked that line for duplicates, etc., it would really help me to know which I have done and which I haven't. When I am going back and forth on the different generations, I get mixed up easily! I hope you can understand what I mean. Thanks! I love this new fan chart and use it a great deal!

    @jlwestra This is an amazing tool and I can't wait to explore all its features You can use the Snipping tool to clip the picture of the fan.

    I have the same feeling about repeat visits. This tool could be used as a research log that helps you record where you've been, if you were allowed to add notes. In my case, I have a lot of people in my tree with unknown fathers. The system shows them with yellow icons, needing more information. But once I've verified that the father is unknown, I wish there was a way to note the problem so I don't keep going back to them.
